When implementing an application software package, which of the following presents the GREATEST risk?

A. Uncontrolled multiple software versions

B. Source programs that are not synchronized with object code

C. incorrectly set parameters

D. Programming errors.

Answer: C

Explanation:

Parameters that are not set correctly would be the greatest concern when implementing an application software package. The other choices, though important, are a concern of the provider, not the organization that is implementing the software itself.

Q109. - (Topic 4)

Which of the following is MOST critical when creating data for testing the logic in a new or modified application system?

A. A sufficient quantity of data for each test case

B. Data representing conditions that are expected in actual processing

C. Completing the test on schedule

D. A random sample of actual data

Answer: B

Explanation:

Selecting the right kind of data is key in testing a computer system. The data should not only include valid and invalid data but should be representative of actual processing; quality is more important than quantity. It is more important to have adequate test data than to complete the testing on schedule. It is unlikely that a random sample of actual data would cover all test conditions and provide a reasonable representation of actual data.

During a change control audit of a production system, an IS auditor finds that the change management process is not formally documented and that some migration procedures failed. What should the IS auditor do next?

A. Recommend redesigning the change management process.

B. Gain more assurance on the findings through root cause analysis.

C. Recommend that program migration be stopped until the change process is documented.

D. Document the finding and present it to management.

Answer: B

Explanation:

A change management process is critical to IT production systems. Before recommending that the organization take any other action (e.g., stopping migrations, redesigning the change management process), the IS auditor should gain assurance that the incidents reported are related to deficiencies in the change management process and not caused by some process other than change management.

Change control for business application systems being developed using prototyping could be complicated by the:

A. iterative nature of prototyping.

B. rapid pace of modifications in requirements and design.

C. emphasis on reports and screens.

D. lack of integrated tools.

Changes in requirements and design happen so quickly that they are seldom documented or approved. Choices A, C and D are characteristics of prototyping, but they do not have an adverse effect on change control.

Which of the following is the PRIMARY objective of an IT performance measurement process?

A. Minimize errors

B. Gather performance data

C. Establish performance baselines

Minimizing errors is an aspect of performance, but not the primary objective of performance management. Gathering performance data is a phase of IT measurement process and would be used to evaluate the performance against previously established performance baselines.
